    Never before ever after

    The film revolves around the life of Karna, born to Kunti before her marriage, abandoned at birth, and raised by a charioteer, making him part of the lower caste. Despite his noble qualities, Karna struggles for recognition due to his caste. His unwavering loyalty to Duryodhana and his rivalry with Arjuna form the crux of the story. The film emphasizes Karna's valor, generosity, and his internal moral conflicts, especially during the Kurukshetra war.

    Daana Veera Soora Karna is more than just a movie-it is a cultural phenomenon in Telugu cinema. NTR's portrayal of Karna remains unparalleled, and the movie is considered one of the finest mythological films in Indian cinema. It is often revisited for its profound dialogues, classic performances, and the philosophical depth of its characters.

    Daana Veera Soora Karna is a timeless classic that continues to be loved by Telugu audiences for its grandeur, philosophical depth, and NTR's masterful performance. The film's moral questions about duty, loyalty, and righteousness remain relevant, and Karna's tragic tale resonates with audiences across generations. It's a must-watch for fans of mythology, classic Indian cinema, and those who appreciate strong character-driven stories.

    What A Delightful Film

    What a lovely film! NTR plays 3 roles: Karna, Duryodhana, Shri Krishna. The film is based on the life of Karna from the Mahabharata. Karna rises from nothing to becoming the world's greatest warrior ever born in history and emerges as the hero of the Kurukshetra war.

    NTR was brilliant in this epic fantasy. Easily playing all 3 roles while creating 3 distinct personalities.

    Well worth watching if you are able to view the film.

    9/10.

    NTR Vishwaroopam all segments in One movie

    Daana Veera Soora Karna....NTR chose a perfect name and achieved success in every area of film. I wondered how he attempted in all segments and nothing scared about that...As An Actor three roles , Story, Screenplay, Direction and Producer....These all not possible in one movie...He implemented and set a trademark in indian film industry. The movie running time is 4 hr 17 min but NTR cameo appearance almost 4 hrs. Its a indian evergreen record since 1977. Movie box office a wonder that was time. Come to movie part Story entire about Karna but more highlighted by Duryodhana Character who was best of Karna in Mahabharat...and Kauravas Elder son. Telugu people believe that NTR is only person looks like Sri Krishna Bhagavan, if we assume Lord Sri Krishna the first name comes from mouth NTR he was that much appreciated character in movie. Here as Duryodhana, Karna, Krishna did three roles, but mostly highlighted Duryodhana...what a fantastic performance and dialogues still feel fresh so much crazy for telugu audience ever. Nowadays also we love his dialogues and enjoy his Acting. Duryodhana acting is benchmark never do such performance. Movie is not only Classic. I appreciated He lifted different departments apart from acting. Because as Actor no compromise he was best choice for any director. Himself Direction,Production,Screen play and Acting....so great. I really thanks to dialogue writer he did a magic and great job for industry.. Emantivi Emantivi dialogue right now also get goosebumps very emotional.

    NTR super performance and showed a good friendship of Karna and Duryodhana it will forever in history.
